Whispering Verse

Chapter 2560 "Succubus"

After the words fell, the witch with gray-black hair and glasses was satisfied to see that the handsome man who had been a little cold and alert since entering the room suddenly had a light in his eyes.

Shade was indeed very interested in this card.

"How about it, would you consider doing me a favor?"

She asked again with a smile, holding her hands in front of her chest and looking at the man in the sunlight through the window.

"I need to make sure that the card is not in the hands of your missing uncle. You have to find him to get it, right?"

Shad asked seriously, and the witch immediately shook her head:

"Of course not, how could I do such a thing? The card is in the hands of my apprentice. She is also a Rhodes card enthusiast like you, but the card belongs to me. I just asked her to keep it temporarily.

I separated from her before entering the Westal Forest some time ago, and asked her to take my followers to Willendel to find another witch to do some things. She will come next week, and you will be able to see the card then."

"I can't guarantee that I can find the person you are looking for."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you are willing to help me."

The witch smiled and stretched out her slender white hand to Shad again:

"Knight, happy cooperation."

Shad shook it, and then found that the witch held his hand and didn't let go:

"What a perfect hand."

Shad took the initiative to break free from his hand and thought she was very rude. The artist lady didn't care about Shad's look at all, but asked happily: "Wait until this is over, let me paint you an oil painting? I used to always ask girls to be models, but now I find that men are also worthy of my painting. You know, others are vying for me to paint, but I refused. Queen Camilla once wrote a personal letter inviting me to paint her portrait, and the painting is still hanging in Cold Spring Palace." Shad was not interested in painting oil paintings, and there was already a painting of a snowy scene painted by Hela Ossenfurt hanging in his home. But he nodded: "It's my honor." So Miss Winslet became more friendly to Shad. Seeing her attitude was so good, Shade wanted to explain his relationship with other witches as planned, but unexpectedly Miss Winslet said:

"But have you discussed it with Carina? What does your existence mean to us?

Fortunately, you only have a clear relationship with Carina and know me. If you bewitched many witches at once, I would definitely report it to the Speaker immediately."

"Why?"

Shade was stunned, but she smiled and curved her eyebrows:

"Because in this way, wouldn't you be a 'succubus' specifically targeting our witches? This is not okay, the devil will be beaten to death.

But if you only have a relationship with Carina, I will turn a blind eye and pretend that I didn't see it. Of course, I'm not saying that other people will be interested in you like Carina, but you are indeed very interesting."

She didn't realize what her words had caused, but walked towards the piano in the room in a good mood, and didn't see the complex expression that suddenly flashed in Shade's eyes when he looked at her back.

[Are you going to take her to the basement? 】

"She" seemed to be smiling very happily.

"I don't have such a hobby."

[So you won't tell me the progress of your plan to plot against the entire Witch Council? ]

"Wait a little longer, I think I should get familiar with it before telling you those secrets."

Since she and Shade have revealed their identities to each other, Miss Winslet also explained her own "curse". Miss Danister's curse is that her own time goes backwards and "time freezes", and her body is transformed into an "owl form" that enters the past tense.

"The human form I am showing now is just the effect of transfiguration. Like Miss Danister, my power has also declined. In owl form, it is at most eight rings, and in human form, it can barely be considered ten rings, but the consumption is very large, far from the normal eleven rings." At this time, Shade and Miss Winslet returned to Miss Danister's room, and the witch still maintained her human appearance: "Even just sitting here and talking to you, my own spiritual consumption exceeds the speed of spiritual recovery. Last night I tested it, and my owl form does not consume spirit; the spiritual consumption of small ordinary animal forms such as cats, rabbits, sparrows, etc. is much less than before I was cursed; the consumption of large animals such as bears and elk is slightly less than before I was cursed; but the consumption of any transformation state involving extraordinary power is greatly increased."

"So you can't maintain a long-term combat state now?"

Shad confirmed, and the witch nodded:

"Yes, although it is better than your teacher, it is not much better. I guess your bottle of umbilical cord should be able to temporarily restore me to normal, but the punishment may make it more difficult for me to return to adulthood."

"So, in the recent period of time, although Winslet and I can cast spells, we will try to avoid high-intensity combat situations. Shad, you may have to work harder."

Miss Danister instructed, and Shad had no objection to this:

"No problem, and I suggest that you don't show up easily again. It's hard to say whether you, the "cursed", will attract the attention of others, and I'm worried that if there really are so-called "time travelers", they may also be able to easily notice you. Have you been active in the city frequently before you disappeared?"

Both ladies shook their heads. They came with their own purposes. The thirteenth ring sorceress and the eleventh level witch were very cautious.

"Well, although the three of us are investigating together, I will be in charge of most of the activities in the city, and you will be responsible for the areas outside the city. First of all, the [Hermitage of the Forest], a group of ring sorcerers who believe in the old god "White Sacred Tree", are active in the Vestal Forest. Do you know about this?"

Miss Danister nodded:

"I came here to find the astrologer from a hundred years ago. The initial plan included contact with the [Hermitage of the Forest], who were here a hundred years ago. No problem, I will be responsible for contacting them."

"Also, there are countless ancient ruins scattered in the Vestal Forest. I hope to investigate the ruins related to the ancient god of time, or those old gods related to time, such as [Yao Menno] The relevant relics. "" No problem, I come to investigate. Family. Since the cabinet can be traced back to the old house of Banner, I think it should be able to find some clues. "Although it has been determined to have the direction of the investigation, Xia De did not leave for dinner at noon. Because the autumn semester has just begun, even doctors have not urged them to prepare for the "upcoming" winter exam, so this meeting was nothing important. Luvia didn't say anything because she knew about this a long time ago. Dorothy, Priest Augustus and Dr. Schneider had different opinions on this.

The writer gave many examples to prove that such props often appear in fairy tales. Priest Augustus wiped his pipe that seemed to have never been lit:

"Time tree holes, I know, I mean I have heard of this ancient legend.

Those tree holes are not fixed on a certain tree, but appear randomly without any rules. It is a magical gift left by the ancient tree god in the material world, but if this gift is abused, it will bring a punishment more terrible than death."

He glanced at Shade, obviously this is not "heard" but the angel's knowledge has this part of the information:

"If you don't want to destroy the cabinet, you must not use it yourself, which may cause big trouble."

"I have also heard of this ancient legend."

The blue-eyed psychiatrist also said that he has been promoted to the ninth ring. He looked very good at this time, but he was still cautious about time:

"The time tree hole is a power that demons dare not touch easily. Even the ancient evil spirits are afraid of the power of time.

Only those who truly know their mission dare to use the power of the time tree hole. Even you, Shade, should not touch that kind of thing easily.

It is rumored that some strange existences continue to guard time after the departure of the tree father. This may be the "time guardian" you mentioned."

Demons and angels are equally afraid of this kind of thing, and their attitudes towards it are exactly the same:

"Although the cabinet is very precious, you'd better chop it up and use it as firewood."

Shade has not had this idea for the time being, but seeing the two people's cautious attitude, he plans to urge Jialina to make a replica cabinet as soon as possible.

After the group meeting that day, Augustus priest called Shade again and planned to go with him.

Of course, he was actually talking to Shade about other things:

"Last time when you said to leave the [Angel's Right Arm] with me temporarily, didn't I say I was preparing a potion? The potion is already prepared, and you will definitely like it."

The carriage carrying the two of them set off from the entrance of the psychological clinic and headed towards the west of the city. The priest took out a glass test tube the size of a little finger from his robe, and the test tube was sealed with beeswax.

The liquid with a happy golden color was jumping in the test tube, and Shade could feel the traces of active elements at a glance:

"What is this?"
